Lemonade




Thanks to Cinnamon I have a pretty new award, the Lemonade Award, apparently bestowed for attitude and gratitude.
I guess it is all about that old wisdom "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade".
Well, I don't know if I come up to scratch on the gratitude thing but I am a work in progress and I might make it by the time I reach my grave.
I reckon I probably pass with flying colours on attitude but I wouldn't want to rest on my laurels there...............
In the spirit of the award, but not following the rules, I would like to make a couple of nominations:
Maithri is about to head off to Africa so he might not even see this but he is great at gratitude. He's got attitude too, just not the same kind as me!
Rob in New Zealand doesn't seem like the kind of blogger to go in for awards too much but he's one of natures gentlemen and I reckon he qualifies.
Mr Shife is about to have an attitude shift he can barely imagine and what more beautiful thing to be grateful for than a wee one!
Way to go fellas!
I stop there only because I'm short of stuff to say tonight but really and truly, I don't like people with bad attitude so if I give you time of day, you qualify.


love to you all

and thanks Cinnamon :)

  4. Also I'm about to go to the podiatrist about my sore feet. I've been told it is what they used to called policeman's feet caused from a lot of walking. So it will be interesting what she has to say.

  6. Awards are more effort than they are worth. I mean, shit, now I've got to pick 8 more people and they choose 8 more, and they choose 8 more...

    Blech.

    Sorry, just venting...and you weren't even the person that awarded me!

    Grumpy Monday, sorreeee!!!!

  9. Kylie,
    The new header reminds me of some of the patterns derived from a fairly new branch of mathematics.
    That's the CHAOS theory area.

  14. megs,
    iremember when you assessed me as sometimes cranky and i wondered if it was so much on show......
    but it really just takes one to know one :)

    vent all you like. i love getting the goodwill in an award but i have to agree that they can be hard work.
    who to give them to?
    is it the same recipient as last time?
    if i give it to everyone do i devalue it?

    yep. minefield.

    happy st patricks day

  22. That does sound a bit questionable. What is this, the Wild Onion? You better be wearing something young lady! Yes, I know your family reads this. *Steps up to mic,* "Family, don't worry, she really is a good girl." *Kylie can be seen fluffing her red cyber nerd dress and shining her black patent leather platforms.*

  25. Hi Kylie,
    sorry i didn't get back to you the other day. Helen has been controlling the computer of late.
    Although when i said i hadn't got to check up on the blog and emails she replied very indignantly "You only had to say you wanted use it" aah! Anyway foot problem is a heel spur from all the walking i do. I've only waited 18 months to do something about it. Thought it would go away by itself.
    Did you hear about the earthquake we had yesterday? I was in a beauty shop lying on the bed when all of a sudden the bed was shaking. The lady who was working on me said "that was a bit of a rumble must be the washing machine. I joked maybe it was another earthquake that we had 2 weeks ago. I got home to be greeted by Helen at the computer saying did you feel the earthquake.
    I know you Americans experience them a lot. Here we get them very rarely. It was only 4.5 on the ritcher scale.
    Hope your day was good?
    Better go and get the washing out.
    Bye Jo.

  27. suzy!

  28. hi jo,
    i just tell my mob to shove over cos i want the computer. i call it a benign dictatorship :)

    i know that heel spurs are painful, i hope you can get that sorted out quickly

    talking of foot issues: briony has plantar warts. she was unimpressed with the doctor freezing them on monday but they are already less painful.
    it might take a number of treatments so i'm glad we got them early.......

    have a wonderful weekend
